Health technology company Carevive—which developed a platform that helps clinicians create personalized treatment plans for cancer patients—won a new major backer last month.
The company banked a series C equity investment of $18 million with support from Philips Health Technology Ventures. Phillips joined prior investors HLM Venture Partners, LRVHealth, Cerner and founder Madelyn Trupkin Herzfeld in the round.
Carevive's platform allows clinicians to tailor cancer care management programs for each patient's needs, informed by real-world patient experiences and outcomes, not just clinical data. Its remote symptom management system means patients need to take fewer trips to health centers. And Carevive's data and analytics are helping researchers design innovative cancer care delivery models, payers to reimburse treatments effectively and life science companies to develop personalized therapies for cancer.
